Buckwheat Flower Season in Ha Giang?

Question: Hi, I’m planning to visit Ha Giang in April. Can I see the Buckwheat Flower Season in this month?

Answer: The Buckwheat Flower, or Tam Giac Mach in Vietnamese, is a unique blossom cultivated in the northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam. It's important to note that these flowers do not grow wild but are instead planted by farmers, which means the timing of the bloom varies based on their cultivation practices.

Traditionally, buckwheat flowers are in full bloom in October and November in Ha Giang Province. In contrast, their flowering season occurs in March and April in Bac Giang Province. Therefore, if you wish to experience the beauty of the buckwheat flowers during your trip in April, it is advisable to plan a visit to Bac Giang Province instead of Ha Giang. In addition to enjoying the stunning scenery of the flowers, make sure to sample local specialties such as buckwheat wine and cakes, which are quite unique and delicious.
